Although Jiannu retreated to the Jinzhou Acropolis and was unwilling to give up, he seemed to have the momentum to accumulate strength and attack. However, the local combat situation was already at a disadvantage.

It was also the Ming army's navy, who could land from both east and west and plagiarize the Jiannu's retreat. Among them, it was the most threatening to break into Pulandian Bay and capture Shiheyi or Xinjin.

In other words, if Jiannu was wise, he would withdraw from the entire Jinzhou, strengthen the troops in Fuzhou, and curb the Ming army's northward attack and restrain the Ming army.

There is no way, who made the Liaodong Peninsula have seas on three sides? Such geographical conditions meant that Jiannu, who was good at riding and shooting, could not confront the Ming army, who was scattered by boats for a long time.

Of course, if the shortcomings of field battles cannot be compensated, the Ming army will also have considerable risks in continuing to penetrate southern Liaoning.

Field Battle - Zhang Pan looked up at the gray sky, and snowflakes were falling on the ground, falling on his face to bring a hint of coldness.

The mesh gun was afraid of rain and snow, so Zhang Pan shook his head helplessly.

Position defense can also cover the roof and straw sheds, but where is the time and conditions in the wild?

Therefore, the Ming army performed well this year, but it was just harassment, restraint and consumption. If you want to truly attack and fight, your field combat capabilities must have breakthrough growth.

Zhang Pan thought of the cavalry, but he didn't know the "cavalry wall" tactics being trained by the Beijing Camp. He believed that if he wanted to fight against Jiannu, it would take at least three years of rigorous training.

Zhu Youxiao not only thought of cavalry, but also infantry, and flintlock rifles were the key to solving the problem. Of course, there were also weapons such as field artillery.

According to Zhu Youxiao's schedule, we strive to at least provide Liao Town and Dongjiang Town with complete equipment in one year to form a double-sided attack on Jiannu and form a counterattack.

Zhang Pan didn't know the emperor's timetable. Although he was eager to make the army stronger and attack Jiannu more violently, he also knew that the court had already strongly supported the Dongjiang army.

In nearly a year, the Dongjiang Army has grown from scratch and grown. How much money, grain and materials are consumed?

Not only the Dongjiang Army, but also hundreds of thousands of Liao people. It was not the imperial court transporting grain and transportation funds and resettling from multiple sources, but I don’t know how many people would starve to death!

A familiar figure appeared in front of him, with a slightly lame step and a powerful movement of swinging the hammer, which was immediately recognized by Zhang Pan.

Zhang Pan had a particularly close relationship with this veteran and walked over.

Bang, bang, bang!

Zhang Zhuzi swung his hammer several times and smashed the wooden stake into the soil. The land was only frozen on a thin layer on the surface, which was not too laborious.

After wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, he and a few people wanted to install a wooden stake.

"Old Zhang." A call stopped Zhang Zhuzi.

"Mr. Zhang." Zhang Zhuzi turned his head and saw clearly, bowed and bowed.

Zhang Pan stepped forward and held his arm down, and said with a smile: "Let them do it first, I'll tell you something."

Zhang Zhuzi nodded, handed the hammer to someone else, gave a few more instructions before following Zhang Pan to the side.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Pan said, "The weather has become colder, construction is inconvenient, and food and supplies are limited. After the construction of the military barracks, most people will still have to return to their original island. It will be time for a large number of people to return to build houses and reclamation until the spring next year."

Zhang Zhuzi knew this and didn't say anything. He waited for Zhang Pan to continue talking.

"But you have to leave some strong people, and you can't leave." Zhang Pan smiled and said, "First pack out the houses in the old village, which is enough to live in. Take them, measure the fields, register them, and you will have less trouble next year."

"And—" Zhang Pan paused for a moment and continued: "I guess that Jiannu will not confront our army for a long time and may withdraw from Jinzhou soon. Many Liao people should take the opportunity to escape from Jiannu's rule, or come to join us from the sea or from land."

Zhang Zhuzi thought for a while and said, "What sir means to keep them for the time being, but he is a little worried. I will be taken care of by me and the remaining strong people?"

"Saint?" Zhang Pan nodded and said, "Well, you can have both care and care!"

"I understand, sir." Zhang Zhuzi said: "Some brave people want to stay and live on a first come first served basis, and they will pick the fields first, so there is no problem."

Zhang Pan patted Zhang Zhuzi's arm, took off his cotton gloves and stuffed them to Zhang Zhuzi, and said with a smile: "You can handle these things flexibly. Anyway, the court does not collect taxes, money and grain, so it is naturally a good thing to have land to grow."

Zhang Zhuzi asked several more questions, such as pulling out some guns, swords and weapons for the strong people, and Zhang Pan agreed one by one.

After the matter was explained, Zhang Pan waved goodbye and took the people away.

Zhang Zhuzi watched Zhang Pan and others go away, put on gloves, and it was still warm inside. This was equipment for the army, but the people did not have it, so they could only do it themselves.

But now he is not feeling that it is great to have gloves, but he is excited and happy to regain the large areas and be able to stay for a long time.

Although Zhang Pan did not say or ask, he could see Zhang Pan's confidence from the plan to resettle the people. This is also the confidence and confidence of the army.

Exhaling a thick white mist, Zhang Zhuzi walked quickly to the people who were nailing wooden stakes in the distance with a happy smile.

He wanted to tell them the good news that it was safe and the officers and soldiers would definitely be able to defend it.

…………………………………

Pi Island.

All the troops involved in the harassment had returned to their base, but they had only relaxed for a few days and became nervous again.

With the advent of winter, where will Jiannu's attack be directed? Will the Dongjiang Army be in great great trouble? Will it become the key target of Jiannu's attack?

There is no need to worry too much about Pi Island and Shinmi Island, but if the Yalu River is frozen, Manpu, Changcheng, Xinyizhou and Tieshan will likely be attacked by Jiannu.

Although many fortifications have been built, their geographical location does not have the advantage of a large area.

Moreover, this was reminded by the Lord in the secret memorial. If you take it lightly and suffer a major loss, you will be dereliction of duty.

According to the usual years, it will take one or two months for the Yalu River to freeze. In this or two months, how to improve defense is the work that Mao Wenlong and others have to work hard.

"Manpu, Changcheng only has a small number of garrison troops as a warning and surveillance." Chen Jisheng glanced at Mao Wenlong and continued to point to the map and said, "The troops were concentrated in Xinyizhou, and the old and weak who were in the military farm were moved to the island."

Mao Wenlong gently clawed his head, but seemed to appreciate it, but did not give a positive answer.
